Take control of Geralt once again.

By Michael Passalacqua The Witcher 3's upcoming expansion will feature a new area that's comparable to Novigrad, Skellige, and Velen. The new realm Toussaint, "rivals the size of those found in the base game," according to Michal Platkow-Gilewski, CD Projekt Red marketing lead.

Speaking to GameSpot, Platkow-Gilewski added that the expansion should feel "more refined" because the team was able to make it with the "sum of all the experiences we gained when creating Wild Hunt."

Originally, developer CD Projekt Red told Eurogamer Italy, translated by OnlySP, that Blood and Wine would be "even better than the main game," but later clarified the statement.

"I wouldn't point fingers at what's better separately," Platkow-Gilewski said. He added that each addition to the game, including updates "enriches the overall experience" and that The Witcher 3 with both expansions "is simply better than without them."

Last year, CD Projekt Red said we could expect Blood and Wine to be around 20 hours long and that "it's almost the size of The Witcher 2." Interested in what Toussaint will look like? Check out some screenshots of the colorful new realm.

The Witcher 3 was our Game of the Year for 2015 and is currently nominated for four GDC awards, including game of the year, best visual art, best narrative, and best technology. IGN Logo
